  Hi,

  I did an "one day" project for adding the Latin-1 support
for Squeak.  I made several characters' glyphs missing in
the NewYork fonts and put the characters in the right place.

  I modified HtmlFileStream to handle them.

  I also wrote HTML expansion routines: which converts named
characters (&xxx;) into the actual character.

  This enhancement lets Scamper to display the web pages
written in the western european languages: try www.inria.fr
(which uses named character entity) and www.magdeburg.de
(which is written in bare Latin-1):-)

  For those who curious, please get

www.is.titech.ac.jp/~ohshima/squeak/multilingual/strikeFontFix.tar.gz

and file in the "install.st" file in the archive.  I checked
it with the fully updated virgin image.

  Note that this destructively changes the default NewYork
fonts.  Make sure take the backup.

  Also note that I change the NewYork fonts but I did
nothing with Comic fonts: the "character" with same code
point looks very different for now.

  Any comments are welcome.  Thank you.
